----------------
Cause: When it comes to the remote config tool it doesn't include the native library (and never has) so it doesn't work with integrated authentication.
In Spotfire server 10.3.7 (and earlier versions) we bundled a file called
sqljdbc_auth.dll with Spotfire server installation. In 10.3.9 we upgraded the Microsoft JDBC driver and with that we had changed the name of the file. It's now called
mssql-jdbc_auth-8.2.2.x64.dll instead and we bundle this new file.
